I hit Bartlett Park this afternoon for multiple reasons. First was to obtain an elevation profile for the Bartlett Park Ultra (Aug 2nd). Second was in hopes of continuing a (so far) great week of running. And lastly...the weather was beautiful and I needed to be in the woods.

A lot of muddy and wet areas throughout the trails slowed my pace, but all in all I kept it steady without much effort. I only took one gel and 24 oz of water and had no problems with bloating (I usually drink 40 oz of water for this course...which would tend to bloat me).

Tomorrow's plan is for slow and low mileage. Friday will be an off day (it's supposed to rain). Saturday is for long run and Sunday for recovery run (G'town Half Marathon).
